Description
A reusable and washable absorptive mat for the absorption, dispersion and retention of a liquid comprising: a plurality of non-woven layers, of carded and randomly laid viscose rayon fibres having a cross-section of substantially rigid multi-limbed configuration, said layers stitchbonded in an as laid state, thereby substantially limiting entanglement and breaking of individual fibres, with a thread under limited tension so as to maintain uniformity of the absorptive mat.
